This really happened on cable news in 2016. We are speechless. It must be denounced immediately.

You know it’s bad when Megyn Kelly is the voice of reason. I still don’t trust her.

This is so fucking terrifying like ????

I doubt Megyn Kelly cares personally – the language she used felt like she was trying to guide him to NOT say something so horrifyingly racist that it couldn’t be finessed.

Too late! Jesus Christ if anyone needs to be locked up its people like this dude. Horrifying.

^^exactly. It seems like she was goading him to defend his argument more than anything

And to be clear, for all of you who did not spend countless hours in painful Con Law classes…

The internment camps *were* found Consitutional by SCOTUS during WWII (Korematsu v. USA) but the court and the US government has roundly rejected the way the constitutional standard was applied in that case (technically as seen here it hasn’t been overturned but that’s mainly because the central question, “is interment base on race legal” hasn’t actually been addressed again.)

So yes, there is precedent, but its BAD precedent and any lawyer saying otherwise should lose their god damn Bar card.

Liberals love to exaggerate statistics about Christian parents disowning their gay kids and kicking them out of the house but what the liberal media will NEVER show you is gay parents disowning their kids and throwing them out on the street for being Christian.

Maybe it’s because that has never happened

california just deemed rape a non-violent crime and we also passed a law that lets people who commit rape to be let out earlier and I feel distraught and destroyed. 

What the actual fuck?

so prop 57, a horribly worded prop was just passed in california. 

“Proposition 57 is a California ballot proposition on the November 8, 2016 ballot that would allow parole consideration for nonviolent felons; authorize sentence credits for rehabilitation, good behavior, and education; and provides juvenile court judges to decide whether a juvenile will be prosecuted as an adult.” 

Ok sounds all good and amazing right? WRONG. Making a note here that the Democratic Party supported this prop, which would make sense except for the stuff that’s so ambiguous and ridiculous. 

Prop. 57 allows violent, dangerous and adult career criminals to be released from prison early, including those convicted of:
Rape by intoxication
Rape of an unconscious person
Human trafficking involving sex act with minors
Drive-by shooting
Assault with a deadly weapon
Taking a hostage
Domestic violence involving trauma
Supplying a firearm to a gang member
Lewd acts upon a child
Hate crime causing physical injury
Failing to register as a sex offender
Arson causing great bodily injury
Felon obtaining a firearm
Discharging a firearm on school grounds
False imprisonment of an elder. 

California only deems 23 crimes violent (murder, aggravated robbery etc.) The crimes listed above don’t fall under those 23 crimes. Hence, prop 57 allows early parole hearings etc for criminals who commit these crimes. I would like to say that I supported this prop until I read it fully, and part of what’s wrong with the prop has to do with what California deems as violent. The ambiguous definition of non violent allows props like this to get passed, and even plays a role in the trial and outcomes of cases like the Brock Turner case. 

Good News??? Props need to be passed in state government before they can be law. Protest, lobby, make your voice heard! It got Aaron Persky to step down and might even get him impeached. 

if you’re in california, don’t ignore this. it’s absolutely disgusting that we’re allowing rapists to continue to receive shorter and shorter sentences. Rape is violent, hate crime is violent, and domestic VIOLENCE is violent. don’t let this be okay

*far-right wing voice* actually the fact that you are against my intolerance means perhaps it is you who is the intolerant one

Uh, the far left is no better. Let’s be real.

*centrist voice* both the far left and far right are equally bad…mayhaps those fighting against fascism are the real fascists…really makes you think

meanwhile at the far left: “Let’s go beat up some nazis for fun”

White supremacy is rearing its ugly head in Canada.

This is a recruitment poster for the alt-right in Toronto.

I DID NOT EXPECT THIS TO BE CANADIAN

I know Canada is full of incredibly racist shit (including white supremacy. FTR, white supremacy rears its ugly head in most aspects of Canada every day), but this takes the fucking cake. Its boldness REEKS of Trump Mania. I am so disgusted that Trump Mania has arrived in Canada in such an unfiltered way.

I want all of the Canadians of colour to know that you are loved and incredibly welcome. 💟💗💟

Fuck this disgusting POS.

Anyone claiming Canada is “safe” needs to see this tweet. I agree it *may* be a little safer than America right now, but by how much? I’m not so sure… :/

I AM SO ANGRY AND DISAPPOINTED CANADA

FUCK YOU!!!!

Oh it’s in Canada. It was in Canada. It will be in Canada. Now it’s just gonna show its ass more prominently and be less politely insidious, and we’ve got to be ultra vigilant. 

Take Down Kelly Leitch.
